Some people love sensational headlines. "OMG we're back in the lottery!" "OMG, an alien impregnated Miley Cyrus!!!"

OK MLSE employee number 3.

whats the view like from your office down at the ACC Nilanka? All you do is character assassination jobs on anyone who offers a critical opinion the the Raptors.

Yet time again people post accurate valid criticisms and you never address that - you just attack the poster. Obviously you have some skin in the game at MLSE sorry we are not all drinking the coolaid.

Maybe Jose can start getting Bargnani going, like he did last year? Even if it results in losses, maybe Lowry comes back to a magician, in rhythm.

In my opinion, Lowry's play this year should be a reminder to everyone what it's like to have a "real" player on our team. A guy that can impose his will on a game and make other teams adjust to him, and who can also control the game to a certain extent in a variety of ways. You want to know why there is no PG contraversy this year? Because Lowry is so much better than Jose that the discussion would be laughable.

Last night's (1st quarter) loss to OKC, again in my opinion, was as bad as it was because we were trying to force feed Bargs the ball, and while he did score a little, he gave everything back and more on the defensive end. When Bargs plays with a "real" player and/or against legit contenders, it is almost embarassing to watch...for god sake...did you see him last night? and on national TV no less...

My point is, we've seen Jose and Bargnani so much over the past several years, that I do not think that this is the answer. At its ABSOLUTE best it is a 500. team. I say it's time to face the fact that Bargs would be better coming off the bench with Jose as a formidable second unit. Move Amir (or ED) to the starting 4, and run the offense through Lowry, Derozan, and eventually, JV.

Bargs has always been a sixth man....let's just move on and stop hoping that he can pump fake us to the playoffs

It may only be 4 games but those games sure showed a loooooot already.

1) Lowry is "the man" on this team. Only him and Demar are true ballers. the others, regular basketball players.
2) JV and Ross are nowhere near "cornerstone" form. They'd probably need another 2-3 years to be NBA relevant.
3) Bargnani, Jose and Amir need to go, before Lowry starts pulling his hair out and starts asking for a trade.

You're not helping yourself here...hahahaha

1-3 isn't the end of a season, christ take a breath. Oh no, I guess now I'm an MLSE employee hahahahaha. Lowry down sucks for sure, and if we don't learn to adjust as a club, then yeah we don't deserve sh!t. But! I think Casey is a smart coach and has gained enough self confidence to be able to make said adjustments. Either way, we'll see how it pans out in Dallas. Even if it's a loss, if we can hang with them for 4 quarters and play a solid 48mins then I'll be happy.

Wow.... I'd say this is a slight over reaction. It's one game. Lowry wont miss much time. Raps have point guard depth for times like these. And they have a brutal schedule to start the season. With only 78 games left, I guess some feel the season's over.

Responding to your additional content: I simply poke fun of "over-the-top" opinions whether positive or negative. Assuming that a rolled ankle is a season-ending injury before any official statement has been released, fits this definition perfectly.

As for the kool-aid drinking, you obviously haven't paid too much attention if you honestly believe I don't have anything critical to say about the Raptors.

Lastly, if you would like to point out your past predictions that have come true, please feel to list them, and I'll gladly give you props (for being lucky ).
